QuickBooks Full Service Payroll Software

QuickBooks Full Service Payroll from Intuit is a web-based payroll system that integrates with the QuickBooks accounting platform. It is designed to help small businesses manage accounting and payroll all in one place.

Users can manage employee profiles to determine such things as pay rate, pay schedule and method of payment. Payroll can then be reviewed and submitted at any time, accompanied by detailed reports showing total payroll cost, pay compared between periods and cost breakdowns between wages and taxes, and between employer and employee. The option to print pay stubs is also available.

Behind the software is Intuit’s team of U.S.-based payroll experts, who can handle payroll setup, tax filing (federal, state and local) and tax payments. Accuracy is guaranteed, so if an issue arises, Intuit will act as representation to the IRS. All of this functionality carries over to the Online Payroll mobile app, which is available on iOS and Android devices.

Pros

Easy to use and find your way around. Online so accessible anywhere. Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.

Cons

No progressive billing, no job costing for the online version. The developers consistently change the look but not the functions. Customer service will always check your browser before assisting with changes they have made that do not work. Not for construction.

Some of the reports and company rundowns not really accurate

Minor issues when importing data from Bank accounts

We went from using QB desktop to QB online because we heard it was better. Unfortunately for the business we are in, that was not the case and a waste of our time trying to set up accounts, parts, etc.

Pros

QB has always been pretty user friendly, that didn't change with the online version when comparing to the desktop version.

Cons

You cannot have different price levels. Example: Re-seller pricing and end user pricing. You can only have 1 price level. That does not work in the business I have. Also, you cannot have bill of materials; where you sell several piece parts to make into one. That too is very important in the business I am in.

Customer service is very accounting-savvy so it didn't help that I was not.

Pros

Its ease of access. It really does get in depth. Almost too in depth for someone who is not really accounting saavy.

Cons

It is very detailed. I started it up and connected my bank accounts and I had to go back through years of transactions to categorize them. I found no way to automatically categorize similar charges or vendors.

Pros

This product from Intuit, easy to use, full functioning as an accounting software for small businesses.
you can easy get started within up to 4 minutes, dig in all administration roles, getting familiar with it, and create your own company. follow up your banks accounts through the available integration between this software and your bank. additional to that you can check in any moment the Chang-Log to every one who just post, add, edit any transaction on the system.
a great feature through it, the massive available integration with other softwares especially the POS systems like Vend, Revel. it does really save time and money.
I do really enjoyed using this software as a small business.

Cons

as I clarified above this system great for small businesses, for whom bigger than these ones. unfortunately you have to find another solution.
the essential point for refusing such one, the Manufacturing service in the accounting systems; it's really important for us the system who we're working on provide the ability to mix multi row materials into one final product. another point, for the users authorities, we can't use it when we have more than one shop and we want to assign a user to a specific store, in doing so we have to establish separate company account for each one to be able to assign the users to their outlets.

My favorite features are 1) "My Accountant", where I can upload all invoices, receipts, etc., so they can be viewed by all, and the accountant doesn't have to arrange a meeting with me at my office, AND, 2) the saved reports my accountant has created that allow me to update these without choosing the variables, but simply changing the dates/periods I'm interested in.

Pros

Being online, this product allows us to share information immediately, as all of us work in different cities within Silicon Valley.

Cons

There is a learning curve to learning this software... but alas, that is true with any powerful accounting/bookkeeping software.

It can be difficult to find information after you have input it. You have to do a lot of searches once you have put something in.

Able to keep track of every penny spent and earned.

Pros

It is pretty intuitive and easy to navigate. The online feature is great because I can access it at anytime from any computer. It directly links with my bank accounts and credit cards so all of my transactions are brought over to quickbooks with the click of a button. I am then easily able to categorize the expenses and deposits keeping everything well organized. Can also easily run a multitude of different reports to analyze our year's financials. Has some advanced features that I haven't got to yet. Overall, a great program that anyone can learn to use.

Cons

One of my main gripes with the software is the inability to link similar income and expense accounts. As a non-profit, we plan a lot of festivals and events. I create an income category for the event as well as an expense category. That way I can easily see what was spent on the event and how much we took in. The system does not allow me to link these to categories and show balances so I can easily see if the event made money or lost money. Instead I have to look separately at the income category and the expense category and subtract the difference from the totals. Maybe there is a better way to do this that I don't know but so far I have found no way to link categories like this.

Access from multiple locations

Pros

Having access from any web browser makes it very appealing when you have multiple users in different locations.

Cons

The functionality is limited compared to Quickbooks desktop version. For someone with basic accounting needs, I think this could be a great option. However for me, coming from 20+ experience using Quickbooks desktop, this felt like a step backwards and limited the options I was used to working with. I finally gave up and went back to QB desktop.

We use Quickbooks daily. Easy to use!

I used a desktop version for years and I am happy I moved to online. I can access it anywhere at anytime and it makes managing my business easier. I can organize debits and credits more easily as they immediately download to my accounts!

Cons

I think the monthly charge is a little high when there is very little maintenance or action that needs to be taken by Quickbooks.

Lately, I get errors, when I add an account, it tells me I am working at the same time as myself and my work has not been saved, I always get the message "our shoes have come untied, we will be back shortly, I have to switch web browsers all the time for it to work.

Pros

I like that you can run various types of reports easily. For example if I want to know how much we spent on our New River Splash event, I can run a report for that line item and it will list every expense for that event.

Cons

I don't like that the layout online is drastically different than the software version. It takes longer to find everything since the chart of accounts is set up so differently.

Pros

There are a lot of features and access to an app on my PC is nice. The layout of the software is intuitive and easy to use. Most tasks are simple and require very little time to complete. For example: Setting up invoices and sending them to customers is simple and requires very little time. It also allow the user to automate the invoicing process which reduces time spent in the application.

Cons

The online version of QuickBooks is very slow and has a tendency to hang. For example: I may click on the employee tab and wait while the circle spins. Sometimes I will have to click another tab and then go back to get it to open. The customer service is horrible. You have to jump through hoops to get to a phone number. This is true even if you PAY for phone support. Extended wait times are a given. Expect to spend excessive amounts of wait time for what should be a quick question.
